A neurologist friend took me here many years ago as a graduation celebration from nursing school. I’ve been coming back ever since, and I’ve never had a disappointment for a night or meal. It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-“

Service was excellent, actually above and beyond. 1 waitress…Cherie… took very good care of our group. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the food. We’ll all be back!“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. We ordered some Pantry snacks (a must do), Walleye, Fried Chicken, and Butterscotch Pudding. Every bite was perfect. We were heartbroken losing both Lola and Greenhouse Tavern due to Covid, (and we still are) but Cordelia is the kind of restaurant that can make East 4th a go-to dining spot for us again.“

“Great experience!

Good food and service delivered by the staff at Grumpy’s, especially Maria! She’s got a great sense of humour and good banter! Very knowledgeable about the menu and allergens. The menu is clearly marked for GF items.

The menu does have a warning about gluten free and the risk for cross-contact for wheat, dairy, and meat. No GF surcharge, but there is a surcharge for vegan options.

I had the gluten free pancakes, and family I was with enjoyed all their meals. Good coffee.

Love how the place is decorated so cheerful and local artists works for sale.

Maria (and my dad) gave permission for photos with her - she requested they appear on the Grumpy’s FB page.“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar.

“My husband and I got in contact with Mike to cater our wedding food. He went above and beyond to work with our budget and made the most delicious pasta for our pasta bar! Our guest raved about how much they loved the food. A lot of them said it’s some of the best wedding food they’ve had. We appreciate you Mike and the staff for making it possible for our big day. Thank you!!!“

“This was my first visit here. Ihave a huge serving of weiner Schnitzel with potato dumplings. Beyond excellent!! Salad was very fresh and nice. Staff was as attentive as you could ask for. My picky grandkids ate everything! So did the vegetarians among us. One caveat. Thecrestayrant us not handicapped accessible. We could wheel a chair in through the kitchen to get in but bathrooms were too small for even a walker, no rails beside the toilets. Don't even try the bathrooms--you could get hurt. Suggest railings be added to the walls outside the cubicles and inside them so someone with a cane could manage with no walker. A cheap fix--railings. Loved the place!“

“I stopped in over the summer with my sister for lunch and we were so glad we did, food was absolutely amazing! I told my boyfriend after we have to go there, it is so good! Took him yesterday for his birthday, we are both still talking about it today. He told me he told multiple people at work about it and has been thinking about your cannolis all day and I have been too, best I've ever had. Ever single thing from cocktails to dessert to atmosphere is absolutely amazing, I, we cannot brag about you guys enough! Classy cocktail menu, the char sour and classic old fashioned are a must try. You're selection of bourbon for bourbon lovers is top notch too! Last the food, beet salad, lobster rolls, cassoulet pie are to die for 🤌 have to talk about the cannolis again, one pistachio and one chocolate chip, don't snooze on those if you go! My biggest compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back.“

“Hands down our favorite place while visiting this area . My husband said it was so good he’d drive the 6 hours just to eat here again. I asked for something prepared a little differently due to an illness and the chef came out to chat with us to make sure! The way he prepared it was perfect! Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“We had been given a gift card to The Rail, as there was a location near us in Akron. We decided to finally get around to use the gift card, because you know they just sit in those drawers forever, and discovered that the Akron location had closed. We didn't want to lose our money, so we made the trip to Strongsville so that we could use up our card. This location is in a strip mall near a large shopping mall. Plenty of parking, and the restaurant had lots of great seating options. The wait staff was very friendly, and attentive. We both got the smash burger special and it was delicious! Definitely recommend!“

“My daughter, granddaughters, & I just ate at this restaurant and seriously it had the absolute best breakfast and the service was amazing!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Been out of state for 5 years was looking forward to eating here again. Food is still pretty good. Nice waitress that let us move to a table when it became apparent my elderly guests wasn't going to be able to get in or out of the booth.

Parking: It's a local parking lot and not dedicated to just the restaurant. Any local event fills it up fast. Get there early.“

Not only were they accommodating to our rather big party in such a small space but they’re so nice! Small town vibes and friendly conversation everywhere! Then to top it all off the food was exactly what we expected and then some! Great flavors on simple dishes! No notes to be had at all! Thank you guys!

“This is a bar/restaurant. It's a nice place to get some drinks and get dinner. Their menu has a little bit for everyone. They have a good selection of items on their menu....chicken, burgers, wraps, salads, and Mediterranean choices as well. Their food is pretty good and decently priced. They have a very nice patio, which is great when their is nice weather. Part of patio is enclosed/covered if you do not want to sit completely outside. Our waitress was very nice and patient. She checked on us often. The service was quick as well. Definitely check them out.“
